If your LG phone or tablet is unstable, freezes, slows down or does not open system applications, most likely it needs new firmware. This is analogous to an operating system. It determines what programs are installed on the device by default, what functions it has, what the interface and widgets look like. Gadget manufacturers often install their proprietary OS based on Android. But if you are somehow not satisfied with the standard LG firmware, you can change it.
There are official operating systems and custom ones. The latter were created by users. If Firmware is “amateur”, this does not mean that it is bad. Such utilities make the interface more convenient and responsive. They remove unnecessary functions and add necessary ones. Of course, the OS may not be suitable for your specific device or may not work correctly on it. But, if you are interested in the unofficial system, it is worth trying it.
Updating LG firmware is as easy as shelling pears 🙂
To install or reinstall Firmware, you will need special programs and the firmware itself. You can find it on the Internet. A large collection of custom and official OSs is available on the 4pda website. There is also a specialized resource lg-phone-firmware - there are systems for different device models.
Older phones may not support modern operating systems. After all, Firmware requires certain resources for stable operation. A device with 512 MB of RAM is unlikely to run Android 5.1.
Before flashing your LG device, do the following:
- Save all important information from your gadget on another device or in cloud storage. It is better to create a backup copy of contacts, sms, call lists, photos, notes, videos. When installing Firmware, settings will be reset and all data will be erased.
- Charge your device to at least 80%. And better - 100%. If the battery dies while reinstalling the OS, problems will arise with the device. It will be difficult to restore it.
- Download drivers for LG devices (in particular, LGUnitedMobileDriver) to your computer if you want to flash your phone using a PC.
- Find out the model of your gadget. This information is in the instructions and in the device parameters.
